Stellantis, the parent company of Citroën, has issued an urgent recall for specific Citroën DS models in the UK due to potential safety concerns. The recall affects vehicles manufactured between certain dates, with a fault that could compromise driver and passenger safety.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall primarily targets Citroën DS3 and DS4 models produced between 2010 and 2019. Owners of these vehicles are advised to check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to confirm whether their car is included in the recall.
What’s the Problem?
The issue stems from a potential fault in the vehicle’s electrical system, which could lead to unexpected power loss or even fire hazards in extreme cases. Stellantis has identified this as a critical safety risk requiring immediate attention.
What Should Owners Do?
If your vehicle is affected, you should:
- Contact your nearest Citroën dealership immediately
- Schedule a free inspection and repair
- Avoid using the vehicle until it’s been checked if you notice any warning lights
Stellantis has stated that all repairs will be carried out at no cost to the vehicle owner. The company is directly contacting registered owners of affected vehicles, but urges all DS model drivers to check their status proactively.
Safety First
This recall follows increased scrutiny on vehicle safety standards across the automotive industry. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is working closely with Stellantis to ensure all affected vehicles are identified and repaired promptly.
